Many players install ForgedAPI Fork Mod expecting it to act as a bridge that lets Fabric mods run on Forge. It does not work that way. This mod does not run standard Fabric mods directly on Forge.
What it actually does
The mod rebuilds a specific set of Fabric API modules inside Forge:
- Fabric API Base
- Fabric Events Lifecycle
- Fabric Renderer API and Indigo
- Fabric Rendering
- Fabric Models
- Fabric Block Render Layers
These modules let mod authors port their own Fabric mods to Forge more easily. The result is a separate Forge version of that mod, built to use this library. Unmodified Fabric files dropped into a Forge mods folder will still fail.
What to do instead
1. Look for a Forge version of the mod you want. Check whether the author or a porter has released one.
2. Remove raw Fabric files from your Forge mods folder. They can stop the game from launching, and this library will not fix that.
3. Keep ForgedAPI Fork Mod only if a Forge port needs it. If the ported mod's description lists it as a requirement, install the two together.
4. For pure Fabric mods, use a Fabric profile. Create a separate Fabric instance in your launcher, with its own mods folder, and play those mods there.
